I wonder if this ancient term specifically refers to a king in the War of the Gods - Prince Tiedu.
I don’t know why I was born, I don’t know why I became a king, I don’t know why I died. So, I don’t know if I ask three questions.
Of course, asking questions is limited to the person involved himself.
——"King of Kings"
Chapter 42 Rebellion Renewed
For most people, it is impossible to believe that the "Sangbei Incident" that assassinated the king and killed Jia was planned by Golden Brain Amy - in fact, in addition to all the principled issues in the entire War of the Gods, Amy's every move is somewhat filled with the words "kindness and kindness". It is for this reason that later generations of scholars believe that Amy Harper is somewhat indecisive.
Similarly, challenging a small mercenary group to a duel is not the usual style of the Demon Commander Yi Hailan, who is known for his elegance.
In the eyes of the civilians in the occupied area of Alcatraz, His Excellency Yi Hailan has a delicate appearance and elegant temperament. Perhaps, the most suitable position for Yi Hailan should be an extremely orthodox imperial palace scholar. How could he do this with the magnanimity of a palace scholar? How about making such a reckless decision as to decide life or death in a battle?
Having a white glove thrown on the face, no matter who encounters such a thing, has to accept the challenge of a duel.
Although she was full of grievances, Amy still had to list her conditions in the shortest possible time. Different from the battle between the two kings, this time the bet for the decisive battle was not sent to the entire continent through the Thieves Guild, but was sent directly to Yi. Hailan's hands.
If Alcatraz is defeated, then Alcatraz must fulfill the following obligations:
First, completely withdraw from the occupied territory of the Amy Empire and complete the delivery to the Tongyunguan War Zone and the Northern War Zone within 30 days;
Second, pay war compensation to the small mercenary group and 4 million gold coins for illegal profits made on the south bank of the Sanggan River in the past three years;
Third, hand over the Liuying Great Sword;
Fourth, provide nautical charts of the waters around Alcatraz Island;
Fifth, hand over the evil dragon Yin Feng and let Amy try the sword - of course, test the Liu Ying sword to see if it is real or fake. If you can cut off Yin Feng's head, then it is real. If you can't cut off, then change the sword until you can. until cut down;
Sixth, provide 1,000 ancient books again;
Seventh, hand over at least one dark magician or open the dark wishing tower to a small mercenary group.
Soon after, the bet listed by the small mercenary group was "accidentally" obtained by the Thieves Guild, and was immediately sold to the major forces at a price of 1,000 gold coins.
For many forces in the Pan-Continental War, they attach the most importance to the first, fourth, and seventh opinions put forward by Amy - especially the seventh opinion, which is deep in the hearts of all senior people in the same camp as the Western Magic Empire. One of the strings trembled slightly.
Lin Yushang now holds the power of the Eastern Magic Empire. Among the six magicians, the number of dark magicians is the smallest. Currently, there are no dark magicians in the East and West Magic Empires. If the Alcatraz Army really supports the small mercenary group A dark magician means that mass production of magicians is no longer a distant dream.
If this is the case, the balance between the Eastern and Western Magic Empires will be broken again.
In the letter to Mr. Yi Hailan, Amy also made it clear that if the small mercenary group is defeated, the following compensation will be made to the Alcatraz Army:
First, the small mercenary group was disbanded. All main members returned to the frozen continent;
Second, compensation for the war amount of 2 million gold coins;
Third, hand over the blue meteorite sword;
Fourth, provide detailed maps of the frozen continent;
Fifth, hand over Lu'er and Yao Lilong to let Yi Hailan test the sword;
"Is this... bad?" Da Qingshan raised an objection before Yi Hailan saw these terms.
"Is there any?" Amy's face was full of surprise.
"I don't think there is any problem with the benefits you mentioned." Daqingshan wanted to find more suitable words in his heart so as not to refute Amy's face in front of everyone: "This is in line with what you have always insisted on: ordinary mercenary
There is no way that mercenaries can't bargain with things. But...you still have to leave Lu'er and Lilong..."
"Oh, I thought why you were so worried." Amy smiled happily and patted Da Qingshan on the shoulder. "This is just asking for a price in one sentence and paying back on the spot. Yi Hailan is not the King of the Southern Cross. If
If you don't give him a blow to the head, believe it or not, he will jump up immediately. Besides, even if we hand over Lu'er and Yao Lilong, do you think he really dares to chop him? If you give him ten courages, he won't dare! Lu!
The force behind Erhe Yaolilong is much stronger than the small mercenary group, not to mention Yi Hailan, even if the God of Creation comes, we still have to think carefully about it."
Oh - everyone in the room let out a long sigh. After seeing such a clause just now, everyone thought that Amy was going to do something to His Highness Lu'er again.
Before receiving the reply from Demon Commander Yi Hailan, another big event occurred on the strategic map of Eminor Continent.
After learning that Prince Tiedu died unexpectedly in battle, a mutiny broke out in the Jielin War Zone that night - Baron Lin Ping, a direct line general of Marshal Chi Datong (who had been dismissed by Prince Tiedu after the Jielin Incident) led the retainer guard.
And some officers who were also dismissed from their posts invaded the puppet royal city in one fell swoop, preparing to kidnap the prince, princess, and young son of Tiedu to pledge their allegiance to the Red Stone Emperor.
Once the news of His Highness Tiedou's death in battle was announced, people inside and outside the Jielin Ring Waterway were panicked, and most of the soldiers chose to lay down their weapons.
The Royal Palace Guards of His Highness Tiedu were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. They had no choice but to protect Prince Chang Hao, Prince Chang Hao, the eldest son of Prince Tiedu.
The knights directly under His Royal Highness brought from the mainland gathered together and contacted the Jungle Knights who were still stationed on the southern front. Immediately, an army of 20,000 re-encircled the puppet royal city.
While Baron Lin Ping held on, he sent the only phantom beast knights under his command to seek help from the northern theater of Amy and the Tongyunguan theater.
While several leaders of the small mercenary group were waiting for the Demon Commander to pay back the money on the spot, they saw a blood letter asking for help.
Baron Lin Ping is also a branch of the Lin family, two generations older than Lin Yushang. According to the regulations of the Imperial Ministry of Civil Affairs, only the eldest son of the imperial nobles has the right to inherit. Therefore, under normal circumstances, among the children of the same family and the same age group, the farther away the branch is, the higher the seniority is.
big.
Lin Yushang and Pirate Commander have returned to the Eastern Magic Empire. Before leaving, Lin Yushang, Pirate Commander and Amy worked together to build a small magic teleportation array in Moada City - if there is enough magic power to support it, they can do it every time.
Teleport two people back and forth. The pirate commander said that when the training of magicians on Azure Island is almost complete, a group will be sent to Moyada City first to be responsible for the teleportation work.
It is not surprising that something happened in Jie Lin. Jie Lin was originally the war zone closest to the imperial capital. From top to bottom, most of them were children of aristocratic families. If Marshal Chi had not been suddenly placed under house arrest, Prince Tiedu would have relied on his own power in the name of the old marshal.
The appeal cannot make any waves at all.
"This is really a difficult problem. Who is going to quell the civil strife?" Amy waved a letter of distress from Baron Lin Ping. The Tongyunguan war zone is more than 2,000 miles away from the Jielin circular waterway in a straight line. Now the only way to send reinforcements is from the northern war zone.
"Besides me, there seems to be no one else?" Chi Aotian responded coldly. He reached out and took the blood book.
Second Young Master Chi is right. Reinforcement has been like putting out fires since ancient times. The total distance from Moada City to the Jielin Ring Waterway is more than 800 miles. Reinforcements can only be carried out by knight troops. There are only two major groups of knight troops in the entire war zone. One is Chi Ao.
The Sky Expeditionary Army, and the second are the two knight brigades of the Colorful Dragon Knights directly under the Grand Duke of Lantian. The original knight force of the small mercenary group has not yet exceeded a thousand and five people, and it has not yet formed an independent mobile force. In terms of long-distance raids,
, the Colorful Dragon Knights are not even the slightest bit inferior to Chi Aotian's Expeditionary Force.
Amy waved her finger and asked Chi Aotian to send troops: "Okay, you pick 100 wild vulture elf knights. The dragon knights will no longer accompany the team. If there is anything urgent, send the wild vulture knights back at any time to mobilize other dragon knights.
Uncle Barbas and the others are slow and won't go. You bring the knight battalion of the small mercenary group, so the total strength will be more than 10,000. Also, you take the knight troops first, and I will dispatch ten imperial swordsmen.
The battalion squadron, they will follow up later, and after the rebellion is suppressed, just let them stay behind - if the rebels are too powerful, don't attack by force, just return safely. Without the banner of Prince Tiedu, they will not be able to succeed."
In the Battle of the Two Kings, the small mercenary group lost three dragon knights and more than a hundred elf knights. The Berserker Battalion also lost nearly half. Now it has to face the three-sided squeeze of Alcatraz Island, Sanggan River War Zone, and Scambrai War Zone.
, and there will be a big war soon, and the combat power is really stretched.
However, from the current point of view, the death of Prince Tiedou seems to have become another turning point in the war situation in the entire Eminor continent.
"Well, no problem." Chi Aotian nodded.
"This battle focuses on the heart. His Royal Highness Prince Tiedou's soldiers should all be veterans of the Northern Federation. There are also many seniors from the Frozen Continent in the expeditionary force. If possible, it is best to get in touch with the other party's officers and persuade them.
Returning to the empire, all previous rebellions are only related to His Royal Highness Prince Tiedu. I absolutely guarantee the safety of everyone." Amy warned carefully.
The Northern Federation is so big that most officers will undergo short-term officer training before being promoted, and there will also be irregular exercises. Maybe these veterans will have eaten at the same dining table during a large-scale training.
"I'm leaving now. Maybe I can come back in time to join the battle." Chi Aotian took out his snow-white gloves from his pocket and put them on: "Qu Jianhong, gather the troops and set off in 15 minutes."
"Yes, General." The youngest grand duke in the empire stood up from behind the crowd, bowed his head and bowed before retreating - most of the officers in the Chi Aotian department had the same habit: sitting on the outside during meetings.
In the dark night, the east gate of Moada opened with a bang, and four columns of black knights silently advanced northeastward along the mainland highway branch. Amy, Daqingshan, Horns and other main officers were sent out for more than ten miles.
On the ground, Amy can now be called a living map of the Eminore continent. Along the way, she whispered to Chi Aotian about the general situation of the Jielin war zone, including humanities, roads, etc. The second son of the Chi family was able to cope with it.
"Be careful on the road, especially the druids." Da Qingshan finally warned.
Chi Aotian nodded slightly: "You go back." After saying that, regardless of the reactions of several other people, he turned the war horse around. All the knights of the expeditionary force clamped their legs on the war horses, and the troop's forward speed suddenly accelerated.
For the expeditionary force, raids thousands of miles away are commonplace, not to mention advancing in their own jurisdiction. Su Wen took charge of the central army and sent three ranger troops, one to clear the pedestrians on the road in front, and the other two to support the left and right wings.
, and then sent out the Wild Eagle Elf Knight, holding Chi Aotian's warrant. They went all the way along the mainland highway to recruit grain and grass stations; Qu Jianhong led more than a dozen young officers to take out the Jielin Military Region map, hydrological logs and other relevant information.
, read urgently on horseback by the light from the torch.
The large group of knights must take the continental highway or other main roads when marching urgently. According to the map provided by the Imperial Military Department, after leaving Moada, they go north for 600 miles and then east for 300 miles. They arrive at the phantom waterway.
On the first day, the expeditionary force rapidly advanced more than 180 miles north and set up camp;
On the second day, after advancing more than 150 miles to the north, the expeditionary force slowed down. It was only more than 200 miles away from the cities of Scambrai. Su Wen sent out all the air knights in one go to warn them.
The line was placed 50 miles away. At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, they set up camp and buried pots to make rice. The swordsman battalions in several nearby small towns were notified and immediately entered a state of war alert. In case of war, reinforcements would be rushed;
On the third day, at three o'clock in the morning, the expeditionary force had breakfast...perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it dinner. They left the mainland highway and continued to advance along a branch road from southwest to northeast. This was already the boundary forest, Scambrai, and the north.
In the federal do-nothing zone, Su Wen naturally learned to be cautious as he got older.
On the fourth day, at about 4 p.m., the expeditionary force entered the boundary forest. 20 meters to the left and right from the center of the mainland highway, there were all broad-leaved and deciduous trees. The tree height was generally about 30 meters. The sun could no longer be seen in the forest. On the map
There were originally several villages near here, but when the scouts rushed over, they discovered that these small villages were all deserted due to years of war, and the thatch on the roofs grew as high as a person. In the end, they could only stay in a slightly larger village.
They settled down here. To be cautious, Su Wen ordered the knights to tear down all the existing houses in the village, cut down hundreds of big trees, and build a wall around the outermost edge of the village.
After dinner, Professor Benjamin hurriedly opened the door.
The commander's tent looked very deserted. In this expedition, the only senior officers were Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, Su Wen, Qing Luo, Chang Qing, and a few other officers at the level of captain.
They were all promoted one after another later, and there is no way to compare with the heyday of the Expeditionary Force.
"Why didn't you bring a sand table today? It couldn't have been lost?" Qu Jianhong straightened out two chairs and lay flat on them - four consecutive days of rapid marching were too much for even the best knights, and the young Grand Duke's buttocks were all wet.
It was almost worn away by the hard saddle of the Earthly Dragon...
The professor stared at Qu Jianhong for a full minute and sighed slightly: "Of course not."
Immediately, the professor and Chi Aotian said: "Major General, I just made three fortune tellings in a row, and it seemed to be bad. The last time, even the sand table fell to the ground for no reason. I suggest that we exit the boundary forest first and ask Ai
Sir Mi, will you send more reinforcements?"
"Yes, I understand." There was no expression on Chi Aotian's face. "Time waits for no one. We are going to rescue. There is no point in going late."
"but……"
"There is nothing but, people can seek advantages and avoid disasters. Where are the soldiers who also seek advantages and avoid disasters?" Qu Jianhong added with a smile.
A true knight will never compromise with any power or fate. This is the supreme essence of chivalry.
"Alas..." Professor Benjamin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and sighed, "In this case, General Chi Aotian, I have benefited a lot from being with the expeditionary force for more than a year.
However, we have not had any employment relationship before, so I want to... say goodbye to you... From now on, the world is far away, so please be careful."
After saying that, the white-haired professor shook his sleeves and turned around to leave the tent. Not long after, a horse neighed in the distance...
Ah? What happened to the old gentleman today? This was the first thought of the senior cadres of the expeditionary force. Then, someone thought: "What happened in the Jielin?" They actually forced Professor Benjamin away!
Su Wen recalled a conversation he had with Professor Benjamin a long time ago: "No matter what the fortune teller predicts, no one can go against the will of heaven. Moreover, no fortune teller dares to say it directly. The so-called reporting good fortune but not misfortune means that
This is the truth."
"Ha..." Chang Qing exclaimed and shrugged, "I really envy Professor Benjamin. It's good to be unofficial and light-headed. He can leave whenever he wants. It would be great if I could have such freedom."
More than a dozen people in the room understood the meaning behind the 21-year-old boy's words.
"Yeah, or else the old people always say that you can't help yourself when you're on the job, and you can't help yourself when you're on the job." Su Wen smiled and took over the words of the nephew boy: "But... I have always felt that this guy Benjamin is too timid.
When we were in Lucheng, he insisted on joining us. This guy must have been afraid that he would massacre the city again before we left. As people get older, they will run faster than rabbits at the slightest sign of trouble. In fact, we did not massacre the city in Wulu City. So.
, please don’t take his nonsense to heart, let alone spread it.”
"Well, when Uncle Su Wen said it, I really felt the same." Chang Qing immediately answered: "The professor is indeed too timid. If we were all like him, the leader would not have to face the world-destroying god, the evil dragon's roar.
The wind and the ice crossbow that faced the dark elves in the fairy forest. What a narrow escape, or simply no life. What happened in the end? Isn’t the leader also back? Alas... As people get older, their courage seems to naturally change.
Small."
Chang Qing shook his head as he spoke.
A clumsy lie - the thought ran through most of the room's minds - but everyone knew what was behind it.
"Why don't you let Elder Qingluo go back?" Qu Jianhong also had a smile on his face, and he didn't mean to expose the two Pao Ze: "Now that we are here, we must report to Captain Amy and urge the follow-up sword.
Matters in the military camp."
"Sir, I'm very sorry. According to the concept of forest elves, I have not yet entered old age, so you don't have to worry about my courage." Qing Luo was hiding in a dark corner and rubbing his bowstring when he heard Qu Jianhong's words.
, casually re-strung the bow, played a few times, and the crisp sound of the piano immediately came from the room - he was forced to play the second string once by the captain in the Sky City, but Qingluo was left with a pitiful loss.
The artistic cells are mobilized.
"The elder is so funny, you can't even hear the joke." Qu Jianhong flicked the table a few times with his hand: "Anyway, the vulture elves have to implement this matter, why don't you arrange for two elves... we
It’s not a good idea to not report to Lady Amy. Also, regarding the cowardly professor, that’s the end of it, no one is allowed to discuss it again after going out.”
"I think you are all worrying too much. If my calculations are correct, three months ago in order to ambush Grand Duke Catalina, we built a dam 20 miles downstream to encircle the lake. The dam was continuously encircled for more than 10 days. From the river
The 5 miles extending to both sides have been soaked by the river, and the distance from north to south is at least 40 miles, and it has always been the rainy season. According to my understanding of the Jielin area, after we travel 30 miles eastward, we will see
In the swamp area we created, unless... the enemy can find the Fushui tribe among the four golden tribes, the enemy will definitely be trapped in the swamp." Qing Luo spread out the map and drew an oval on the map with a red pencil.
"Senior Su Wen, tomorrow's speed will be reduced to the standard marching distance and the combat march mode will be adopted. If you have nothing else to do, just rest early." Chi Aotian ended the meeting coldly.
"Uncle Su Wen, do you think something will happen?" Chang Qing asked in a low voice after leaving the tent for a certain distance.
